The World’s Greatest Shave will hit Harden Murrumburrah next week, with two very well known local ladies taking part. Julie Shean and Michelle Howe (pictured) will have their locks taken off next Friday March 13 at the Light Horse Hotel.
Their brother passed away in 1981 from Leukemia and was just 21. Since this time they have always wanted to do something for the Leukemia Foundation.
Michelle’s daughter Sam Darmody shaved her head when she was in Year 9 at Murrumburrah High School, raising $1800. Michelle said “It was a great effort, and as there are two of us we want to set a challenge and try to double it.”
Michelle and Julie are taking donations and sponsorship at the Retro Cafe and they said all donations are tax deductible.
Jodie Pollard from Panthers Hair and Beauty will be shaving Michelle’s hair and Nyssa Young from NY Hair and Beauty will be shaving Julie’s hair.
Some of Michelle and Julie’s friends have offered to make large donations to cut parts of their hair off.
A webpage is also available for donations to be made there. The page can be found at The World’s Greatest Shave page by typing in either of their names.
Julie and Michelle joked that they are already being called Bald Eagles by their friends. Michelle has been growing her hair for over 2.5 years.
We hope that the local community can rally behind these courageous ladies who will have their heads shaved for a great cause. Make sure to put March 13 in your diary at the Light Horse Hotel for this great event.
